I'm pretty disappointed.

I got my annual bloodwork numbers back after my appointment last week with my new doctor.

I'm not disappointed in my numbers though. I'm disappointed in the call I got from the doctor's office.

Here's the scoop:

Over the past year I've been able to

♥️ cut my triglycerides almost in half
♥️ blood pressure was lower than ever
♥️ fasting glucose was the lowest ever

and....

♥️ in the last 6 weeks I've lost 12 lbs. (Thank you Fat Loss Trio and superfruits)

I feel great!

But with all that, what was the ONLY thing my doctor's office called to say when my results came in?

"Your LDL is too high. You are going to need to come in for treatment."

Here's the thing.
I've read "The Truth About Statins"
I've read about the "Cholesterol Scam" (check out The Midwestern Doctor on Substack for a good article, I linked to it below)

I know that it's more important to pay attention to the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL and mine is 3.12.

So.

I will continue to workout 4 days a week.
I will continue to limit or cut out dairy, wheat, and sugar.
I will continue the regimen of plant-based🌱 supplements that I've been using for the past 8 years.
I will continue to drink water, get plenty of sleep, and have quiet time/meditate each day.

That's my "treatment".

I admit I've never been a very good patient. After my stroke, I was advised to get on all sorts of medications, and I never did. I went looking for a natural alternative and ended up finding exactly what I needed. (Turns out it wasn't meds.)

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT to analyze my numbers and it gave me much different feedback than my doctor.

I'm "on a very healthy track".
Thank you very much Dr. ChatGPT.😏

I know some doctors are doing it, but I look forward to a day when all doctors take the whole person into account and don't just look at one number.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.🙂

Look what I got today in my smartship!

When my friend came to visit earlier this month, she traveled with her Energize in this blender bottle and when I saw it and saw how nice and tight the lid fit, I knew I had to have one!

I'm really loving the new designs on the products and the new company logo.
Pretty!

It’s 2:47 a.m. and you're changing your pajamas. Again.

You wake up drenched.
The sheets are soaked.
Your t-shirt is clinging to your skin.
You peel yourself out of bed like you're escaping a swamp — and tiptoe to the bathroom in the dark, praying not to wake anyone up.

New shirt. New underwear. Maybe even a towel down on the bed. Back under the covers — now wide awake, with your mind racing and your body still cooling off.
And just when you finally start to doze…
You’re soaked again.

No one talks about this part.
The part where you’re exhausted, but sleep won’t stick. Where your days feel heavy because your nights are broken.
Where you stop looking forward to bedtime because you already know how it ends.

If this is your new normal, I want you to hear something:

You’re not lazy. You’re not crazy. You’re not alone.

Night sweats are one of the most disruptive parts of midlife hormones — and they don’t just make you sweat. They steal your rest, your energy, and sometimes your joy.
But they don’t have to.

I’ve been working with something that’s helping women sleep through the night — without waking up in a puddle.

No hype. No pressure. Just solutions that work.

Avoid packing on the pounds over the holidays…

No, for real. 😳

This sounds too good to be true, but it isn’t. On November 3 I tried my first Aqua Lean and didn’t expect much. Three days later I was shocked (in the best way 🥹🥹) when I got on the scale - 3.4 # down. At the end of my first box 28 days later, I was down 7.4 lbs and 10.74 inches.

And my foot pain was gone!

What is it? Allow me to introduce Aqua Lean by LivePURE. 💎💦💎 The blue drink that helps you shrink.

I was able to buy as many as I wanted as they wouldn’t be available again until late December/ early January. I took a risk and bought A LOT. Why? Because I knew this was the real deal and I wanted my friends and family to have this tool before the holidays.💯💥

Rave reviews and wonderful messages like this one are flooding in. Check out more in the link below⬇️

So… if you’ve been waiting to give your body the tools it needs to help you achieve your goals, this is it. You decide if you will or won’t get your hands on them.

Wow!!!👀

What a difference!

One of the wonderful ladies in our group shared with me that this has amplified the journey she's been on since June.

She says inches have "jumped off more" since using "the blue water"😉

If you've been waiting to see other people's results, don't wait much longer! We will run out of what we have left. And we aren't totally sure when we can get more...

It's almost Christmas and you'll want this to help you through the holidays.🎄

I'm lying face down, half naked, on my front porch.😪😳

It's freezing outside. What if my neighbors drive by and see me like this? I didn't even get a chance to get my bra on!

It was the day before Thanksgiving, 10 years ago. What had started out as a fun day preparing for the holiday had suddenly turned into the worst day of my life.

During my shower I started getting lightheaded and putting my head down wasn't making it any better.

So I started to panic. Somehow I got out of the shower, put my pants on, grabbed a shirt and bra (but didn't get them on) and grabbed the phone before collapsing to the floor in a wave of dizziness right inside the front door.

Through double vision and muscle memory I was able to dial my mom but she thought I was a crank caller and almost hung up on me. I guess my speech was garbled by now. "This is Jill. I NEED HELP!!!" She said she'd come right over. Then I dialed 911 but the operator couldn't understand me.

My sweet 8 year old came out to find me at this point and talked to her and somehow Mom and the EMTs showed up at about the same time.

I was drooling, couldn't open my eyes, thought I was having trouble breathing (but really i just couldn't swallow), couldn't sit up, and I was convinced I wasn't going to live. My 2 year old was now also standing over me and I couldn't believe my boys might lose their mom. What was happening?

10 years ago today....

This morning I searched the word "stroke" on my Facebook feed and got a rush of memories, reading my posts in the stroke survivor group. I'd forgotten just how miserable I'd been in those first 3 years.

Worst of my life. Hands down.

But I turned it around. I'm living my best life now. I'm incredibly blessed that my health scare woke me up to what truly matters in life. Being there for your family. Watching your kids grow up. What if I'd missed this?

So much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and every day. I'll never complain about getting older because there was a time I didn't think I ever would.

Thanks for reading my story. Hug your family. Don't take anything for granted. And don't wait for a health scare to make yourself a priority. 💓

So fun to come home to Amazon packages on the porch!

One of my wish list items for awhile now has been this measurement tape that works with my Renpho scale.

Now I'll have a good idea of what is happening not only with body water %, visceral fat, on my scale, but I'll also be able to track inches lost.

I'm hoping for results similar to Taryn's results from earlier this month.

Taryn, I think this the one you are using too, right? I wondered how you got such specific measurement numbers. I think now I know! 😉

Can't wait to see what happens next week!

A friend called me up last week and was telling me about a friend of another friend 😀 who had been drinking those scary energy drinks all the time.

He ended up having a heart attack at a young age. And thankfully he swore off those drinks.

So my friend decided to tell him about THIS energy drink that I've been drinking for about 7 years now.

Packed with vitamins, plant-based caffeine, and a bunch of healthy stuff, it builds you up instead of taking from you.

When you know of better alternatives, you can do better. I'll put the link to it down below.⬇️ Watermelon is my favorite but you can get 5 different flavors in the variety pack and find the one you like. Or ask for a free sample!

Guess what? It's even less expensive per serving than those scary energy drinks!

Does anyone else use something called habit stacking?

I've had a goal for a long time to increase my water intake. But when I fail to drink my water goal I've set for the day, I can feel discouraged.

What can I do? What will I do?

I decided Instead of giving up on my goal, I can find a smaller goal I can easily do each day and will work to make this a solid habit.

Once I've got that down I will add another small goal and start to "stack" them.

At least I think I'm using the term correctly.🤔🙂

I think this could be used to accomplish a wide variety of things but this morning, I means I have this 8 oz glass of water to drink before I do anything else today.

Do you "habit stack"?
